I’m back to playing red dead ffs.. lol man I fucking suckkkk at FPS with a controller it’s very annoying lol

back when i played BF & CoD i would turn off aim assist with my controller b/c i thought it's cheating and wanted the real experience...now when i play OW i keep it on, my aim sucks too much now i need it

[mikemhg]

Elden Ring is a big meh for me as well.

I swear I hate this current generation of games.

[inv4zn]

Horizon dropped today, the reviews are very positive. Probably won't pay full price, but definitely on the list to get.

[SkinnyPupp]

Got the first for like $10 on Epic.. Didn't like it much but I'd try the second one for that too in a year or so. No big rush, there's plenty of games to play

[Razor Ramon HG]

Took me a while to get into the first Horizon. I think it's one of those games where you need to sit through the first couple of hours before it starts to get good.

[MarkyMark]

I enjoyed the first Horizon but couldn't quite get into it enough to try and get the Platinum. Looking forward to this one as well but I'll wait a bit.

Cyberpunk next gen update released

[mikemhg]

^Bought the game a few days ago, just starting it now.

Man, the controls suck in this game, even after making a bunch of changes in the setup.

Either that or I'm just old and suck at games nowadays

Can't aim for shit.

[Hondaracer]

I played 4 hours or so last night it’s pretty fun!

I think the aiming is intentionally hard/off assuming you get mods that change it later on. I’m basically going in blind playing as I tried to avoid everything until I could actually play the next gen version.

Looks great on PS5, solid 60 fps with the option to turn in ray tracing albeit at a lowered frame rate. I’m very happy I waited. This is the first game I’ve felt the trigger feedback as well and it’s kinda trippy

My dog got a hold of my PS5 controller and tore up the rubber thumb pads. Anyone know where I can buy replacement OEM ones? Thanks.

Played for like 5 or 10 minutes and had no idea what was going on.. If I play again I think I'd have to start over. Complicated games like this, you can't just become instantly familiar with them like that

But I'm like 20 hours in

I was in the same boat, tried it again, not confusing at all anymore, it feels like a whole new experience, I would give it another shot if I was you. Its unreal how good the game is! And I was a huge critic of the CP team as well, I really didn't think they would get it done.

I'm in trouble, picking up HZD today then GT7 in a few weeks, Im currently playing Far Cry 6 (I may just put this away or sell it now) and CP2077 <-- amazing game. I am almost thinking to put off getting HZD until im done CP2077.

i read your dog got a hold of your controller and my mind already jumped to that it humped the hell out of it and you need a new one as a result

[Hondaracer]

So this is gonna sound really stupid lol..but with the force feedback on the triggers or whatever it’s called with CP2077 and the guns I was kinda like this feels weird..what is it trying to mimic?

Then I was just playing around shooting shit with a pistol and I was like ohhhhh.. it’s mimicking an actual trigger! Lol

For Someone who has shot ALOT of guns in my life would have thought I’d clue in lol..it actually mimics the pull very well besides that last little click/release when a round is fired, very cool

there is no OEM sticks out there.

amazon does have some but their fall apart rubber pieces of shit and some even snap clean off..


gonna need to train that dog more and take it as a loss.

For Horizon Forbidden West I did a bit of messing around with the settings to get the best visuals from the Resolution mode. Here is what I did to make it the best and unjarring experience;
Favor Resolution, Left aligned camera ( so you're not always centered on Aloy and her fast movements, you get more of the environment), motion blur off, camera shake medium.

And for what it's worth im playing on an x900h. It looks amazing! I will switch over to performance during battle heavy situations but for everything else will stick to resolution mode.

There is too much of a drop in quality to play in performance mode, I tested a few areas and it was very noticeable, performance mode looked flat compared to resolution in more ways than I expected.

If you have free time play Astro's playworld thing, the entire game is designed to showcase the controller. Lots of cool stuff.

I can sell you one for $40? nothing wrong, i just want to buy a purple one now.

[mikemhg]

I'm literally addicted to Cyberpunk right now.

Finding myself looking at my phone at night and going WTF 4AM?!

Jeez.

[SkinnyPupp]

I went in again and I really think I have to start over.. It really is an amazing looking game, and the main story is actually really cool. Dammit.

BTW here's a comparison of the patch on the current gen consoles:

YouTube (Short URL)

TL;DW from reddit:

PS5

Performance mode is 2240x1260 - 3072x1728 dynamic res. 60fps with slight dips, but more stable than before.

Ray-traced shadows mode is locked 2560x1440 at 30fps. No drops, but also no other differences when compared to performance mode apart from shadows and a very slight improvement to standard screen space reflections.

XBOX Series X

Performance mode is 2458x1382 - 3168x1782 dynamic res. 60fps with slight dips (a hair worse than PS5).

Ray-traced shadows mode is same as PS5

XBOX Series S

One mode - 2304x1296 - 2560x1440 dynamic res. 30fps lock. No ray-traced anything.

[Hondaracer]

I switched between ray tracing and performance mode sitting in the diner last night and the ray tracing is definitely not worth the drop in FPS imo

[SkinnyPupp]

Yea 30 fps is not playable IMO, which is why I skipped the last few console gens. The fact that they were able to get any in at all is pretty impressive. Not as impressive as Spiderman or Ratchet, but pretty neat
